on the prothoracic horn |pl. 17, f\g. 17]. A sincrle specimen was taken on 

 scrub oak at Karner July 24, 1901, and Mr E. P. \'an Duzee, who kindly 

 identified the species, states that it is a rather rare form, being met with 

 only occasionally in his own collecting, and seldom represented in lots sent 

 for identification. It has been recorded by various writers from Pennsyl- 

 vania, Arkansas, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan and New York. 



Thelia godingi \'an Duz. 



This is one of our more grotesquely shaped leaf hoppers. It may be' 



recognized bv the enormously developed prothorax 



which forms a stout, nearly vertical, rounded horn- 



The median line on the posterior portion of the horn 



and on the top of the immensely developed prothorax 



i' is marked bv a lenticular wliitish line. The remainder 



of the prothorax is yellowish brown marked with 



darker brown, specially near the extremity of the 



horn, where it is nearly black. The head is yellowish 



and the eyes are black. This pretty leaf hopper was 



taken in small numlicrs on scrub oak at Karner, July 27, 1901. 



Telamona monticola I<abr. 



This grotescpie little leaf hopper measures about 3 « inch in length and 

 may be distinguished 1)\- its yellowish brown color and the broadh' rounded 

 elevation of the immensely developed prothorax. It is a very common 

 species on the Virginia creeper or ampelopsis, and was taken by the writer 

 in small numbers on scrub oak at Karner in July 1901. Dr P'itch in his 

 catalogue of the Homoptera of the State of New York, published in 1851, 

 described this fcTrm as T. ([uerci and states that it occurs on scrub oak. 



This insect has been recorded from Massachusetts, New York, New 

 Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina and Illinois by various entomologists and 

 presumably has a general distribution in the Eastern States at least.
